Thanks for all of the replys. I agree with everything said. In theory this certification program makes a lot of sense but the execution of it leaves a lot to be desired. It doesn't seem like they could enforce a regulation that 80% of the industry fall out of. The Construction Industry is way too big of California's overall economy to bind it thru poor planning and execution. I believe they will have to extend until the supply of Certified Electricians can satisfy the demand.
There is no doubt in my mind that I could pass this test so I'm going to apply and take a shot. Does anyone have any experience at how long the waiting time is to take it? I've heard that they are backed up 5 months.
Thanks again for the input, I just needed to hear other opinions/insight on this matter.
